Supersprint never sits on its butt. We love classics, but also, we always are first when it comes to developing performance exhaust for the latest generation sports cars.

The most recent Euro regulations on the emissions are not kind to the performance of the 2019 models.
The 2019 CUPRA Ateca 2.0TFSI has a new, horribly restrictive exhaust, which uses a catalytic + GPF (Gasoline Particulate Filter) at the same time.
This stock system really wreaks havoc on the torque and peak hp, chocking the engine, badly. Also, it kills the sound, down to whisper quiet levels.
On our in-house, Maha 4x4 dynometer we have measured less power than the advertised figures from Seat of 300 hp, at 295 hp.
Wasting no time, we immediately designed a full system, starting from the turbo back.
The front section of the exhaust is where the real horsepower and the torque increases are hiding.
Our plain approach is eliminating the stock catalytic and the GPF altogether, replacing them with a straight-through Turbo Downpipe, and a set of high flowing, HJS Motorsport catalytics, positioned farther downstream, away from the engine.
With the Supersprint twin-pipe exhaust in place, the power jumps from 295hp to 321hp, no other modification added.
Thanks to the eliminated restrictions, to the reduced heat soak, and to the easier, quicker spooling of the Turbocharger, the 2019 ATECA Cupra can even reach to a potential of 400 hp, with an additional software tune only.
The Supersprint, large diameter pipe exhaust is guaranteed to provide the proper flow for the most radical engine conversions.
No less important, the Supersprint full system ensures a magnificent sound, with lots of burbling, bangs at pops; yet no droning inside of the cabin.
